Dynamic Compensation Robot with a Newly Developed High-speed Vision Chip

We realize high-speed and accurate contour-following task under dynamic compensation scheme with the use of a new Vision Chip developed by Sony and Ishikawa Watanabe Laboratory of the University of Tokyo. The Vision Chip carries out image processing at 1,000 fps. In this demonstration, given an arbitrary contour pattern, the industrial robot's trajectory is firstly programmed with sparse teaching points chosen roughly. The compensation module (2-DOFs) will then realize real-time motion under 1,000 Hz visual feedback by the new Vision Chip to keep the target contour always in the center of the image, even under systematic uncertainties such as backlash of the main robot, or external disturbances of the workpiece. By realizing image processing on the chip, there is no need to provide a device for image processing.

Fantastic works by your lab, only I wonder could not the processing be done by a regular processor? why a vision chip?
